1976 Map of New Home NE

About this map

Agricultural patterns on the Texas South Plains are revealed in this 1976 orthophotoquad, which utilizes aerial imagery to document the rural landscape south of Lubbock. The orthophoto format provides a direct view of the circular irrigation patterns and rectangular field divisions that characterize this portion of the Llano Estacado. The small settlement of Woodrow sits near the western edge of the sheet, situated along a primary north-south roadway, while the community of Union is positioned further east. These labels identify the social and commercial hubs for the surrounding farming families. Unlike a traditional topographic map, this imagery preserves the actual ground texture of the era, showing the distinct playas—natural shallow depressions—that dot the landscape and serve as critical drainage points for the region's intensive cotton and grain operations.
